The Crowd Says (3)

With cricket, the long form of the sport is so long that the short form is a similar length to other sports’ long forms.
I love Test cricket and can happily watch it for days. But it’s a massive time commitment – too long for many people. In contrast, you can watch an entire T20 game from start to finish in a similar length of time as an AFL game.
And that time – 2-3 hours – is probably the optimal length for a sporting game. Other sports’ short forms are reducing that further.

The Rugby 7s might be short in time, but the tournament takes days. I went to the Sydney one this year. Personally it was a bit too boozy for me. Australia wasn’t in the finals so not everyone watched and a lot of people were pretty smashed by by then. Reminded me of the cricket one dayers …people get pretty messy after drinking all day
